When I had concerns about the effectiveness of my procedure, Dr. Shulman talked through some options and developed a plan moving forward, and he explained everything in a way that was understandable and assuring.

Very personable and speaks in the language of my son's sport. That really stood out to my son and me. My son even said "I like him. He gets it." He also took the time to explain the process and what we should expect in my son's concussion recovery.

It is my opinion that Dr Marc Schulman is super. He was VERY nice, humorous, careful, very good at giving cortisone shots. I was most impressed with the whole sports medicine department

I really appreciate Dr. Shulman’s kindness and patience. I have been dealing with chronic pain in my hip since 2018 and he not only figured it out but he explained the problem, how it used to be “fixed”, why they don’t do it anymore, and what the best course of action is. He did a wonderful job explaining it all to me and even used great analogies when needed.
